Don't punish Russian Canadians

The situation in Ukraine is dire and the Canadian government - quite rightly - is considering all options in terms of response.

That option must be avoided.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians come from Russia and have family there. Russian Canadians are Canadian and they must not lose family visits and contact because of what a government not elected by them has done.
